This preference is not available to partial tenders or to beneficial or record holders of an aggregate of 100 or more. Accordingly, this section is to be completed only if shares are being tendered by or on behalf of a person owning, beneficially or of record, fewer than 100 shares in the aggregate. The undersigned either (check one box):
o | is the beneficial or record owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 shares, all of which are being tendered; or |
|
o | is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee that (a) is tendering for the beneficial owner(s), shares with respect to which it is the record holder, and (b) believes, based upon representations made to it by the beneficial owner(s), that each such person is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 shares and is tendering all of the shares. |
In addition, the undersigned is tendering either (check one box):
o | at the purchase price, as the same will be determined by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Offer (persons checking this box need not indicate the price per share above); or |
|
o | at the price per share indicated above in the section captioned “Price (In Dollars) per Share at Which Shares Are Being Tendered.” |
CONDITIONAL TENDER
A tendering stockholder may condition such stockholder’s tender of shares upon the Company purchasing a specified minimum number of the shares tendered, as described in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase. Unless at least the minimum number of shares you indicate below is purchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Offer, none of the shares tendered by you will be purchased. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum specified, your tender will be deemed unconditional.
o | The minimum number of shares that must be purchased from me, if any are purchased from me, is: __________ shares. |
If, because of proration, the minimum number of shares designated will not be purchased, the Company may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, the tendering stockholder must have tendered all of such stockholder’s shares and checked the box on the next line:
o | The tendered shares represent all shares held by the undersigned. |
